That’s one reason why the market is ripe for disruption by smaller, more agile players who are able to offer innovation and expertise and a more personalised experience at lower costs. Aided by technology and remote working, more and more people are setting out on their own to do the jobs that once took massive departments, with UK Office for National Statistics data showing almost half the growth in the number of management consultants and business analysts since 2011 has been among self-employed advisers, who now comprise 55,000 of the 175,000 UK consultants identified by the ONS at the end of 2016.
